Located in the sunny fields of Seville, Spain, this development provides enough power for the 700.000 inhabitants of this area. The project increases the countries' energy security through reliance on an indigenous, inexhaustible and mostly import-independent resource, enhance sustainability, reduce pollution, lower the costs of mitigating climate change, and keep fossil fuel prices lower than otherwise. Therefore the shift towards renewable energy is widely perceived by the public as a "green movement" intended to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and acid rain and to curb global climate change. However, the issue of wildlife impacts is much more complex than is widely appreciated, especially when the various scales of impact are considered. Therefore, without additional research to fill the significant information void, accurate assessment of the potential impacts of solar energy development on wildlife is largely theoretical but needs to be empirical and well-founded on supporting science.
